- Submit a Goalkeeper Equipment Exemption Form with height measurements and photos.
- The form must be approved by the Lacrosse Canada Safety & Equipment Review Committee.
- Approved exemptions must be carried by the goalkeeper at all games.

It is Lacrosse Canada's intent to keep the goalkeepers in the category where they belong, however due to growth spurts and children who fall outside the standard growth chart, exemptions may be made by submitting a Request for Goalkeeper Equipment Exemption Form (available below). An exemption may only be granted on the basis that it is necessary for player safety.
